Restoring iTunes backup of iPhone 7/6 s more iPhone 7/6

Wondering if someone share the experience on the commutation of the iTunes backup between 5.5 inches in 4.7 devices sizes and vice versa. Up to now I'm used to screen 4.7-inch and interested in trying more. Where I wanted to go back to smaller phones in the future is there any problem in using backup of 5.5 inches by 4.7 inches?

Hi there, rg58272!

Thank you for reaching out by Apple Support communities. After reading your post, I understand that you have questions about backing up your iPhone and then using this backup on another iPhone. I'd be happy to help you!

The physical size of your iPhone, if it's an iPhone 7 or an iPhone 7, will not affect your ability to use your backup. What will affect it, however, is the size of storage of your iPhone. For example, if you have a 128 GB iPhone and you use 120GBs, the backup cannot be restored to an iPhone which has a 128 GB or more large storage capacity; You cannot restore to a 32GB iPhone.

When the time comes for you to backup your iPhone, you can use the following article.

A happy testing!

    Try to restore again SE with a backup that I did earlier today with 5, whenever I connect to itunes SE he asks me if I want to set up as a new phone or restore from a backup.  I choose the backup that I did earlier today and go through the whole process.  Some of my apps restore and no voice message.  ITunes recognizes the phone as having been backed up and continues to ask me how I want to configure the phone.  I did the whole process 3 times.  I have a real phone, restarted itunes...

    I suggest you all first set your phone as new, and after it is operational connecting to iTunes and then restore the backup. Make sure you have iTunes 12.3.3 on your computer, they are required for the iPhone OS.

  • Restoration - difference between erase (iPhone vs iTunes)

    We (me andChrisJ4203 ) were recently involved in a problem where the person had difficulty with a car with Bluetooth connection after unlocking

    Limitations of the iphone unlocked 6

    As we sifted through the questions: one thing that struck me.

    The person had used the command "Erase content and settings" to restore the phone

    Whenever I advise someone to do a restore - my reference is always using iTunes

    Where the question: is there a difference - OR should there be a difference in the results produced by each?

    (I was reading some old posts, who lamented a lack of in-depth technical discussions so that this came up - thinking, I could ask around)

    Thank you for all you would care to provide views

    -MS

    I'll offer an opinion for what it's worth:

    We will first consider restoring from iTunes method.  If we compare this to ' erase content and settings "followed by a restore of backup iTunes, I would say that the difference is restoring from iTunes combines some steps for the user, so they do not have to run each individually.  Basically, iTunes restore packages several stages together - erasure, then restore from backup.

    Restore from iCloud has a much harder time to make this packaging, as he must first clear content and settings to even offer the ability to restore a backup to iCloud.

    Finally, there is restore like new.  There are two ways to do this: one from iTunes and one from erasing content and settings.  So I think the iTunes method is just to be complete when the choice of a restore in iTunes, for the person to restore as a new, or restore from a backup in iTunes.

    In any case, the result is in my opinion, there is no technical difference between results for any specific 'restore from/as... ". ', differences only packaging how to present questions to the person performing the restore.

  • corrupted backup iPhone: you can restore old backup from Time Machine?

    Hello

    I recently had my iPhone 6 (last iOS 9.2) stolen and when I bought my new 6 iPhone updated to iOS 9.3.1 and it synchronized, he said that the March 21 backup was corrupt or incompatible.

    Leaving aside Why is it (except if in your knowledge, it has an effect), I was wondering is it possible to go into the Time Machine and find the last iPhone backup (hopefully not corrupt or incompatible) and then use it when you synchronize and put up my new phone?

    So in this case I would lose a week / a month value of the data over the year or so for my backup previously listed on my iTunes currently.

    More important still, I need to get my SMS and notes.

    For now, my contacts seem to have all come finer.

    A big thank you for any help you can provide.

    See you soon

    You should be able to do. Follow the instructions here to find and restore the backup on your hard drive.

  • Cannot restore the backup of the iPhone

    I just did a DFU restore on my iPhone 5s. I am running Windows 7. I have created a complete PC Backup in iTunes that is listed in the devices list in the preferences.  When I try to restore this backup on the restored phone, that the backup is not available in the drop-down menu of the backups.  Only my iPad is here.  I think that remember me something related to the backup that was created with an older version of iOS.  The phone 9.2, I think it was an upgrade after the DFU.  My iPad has 9.2.1 and I thought they were on the same version.  Anyway, how to restore the backup that is listed in the devices?  I have not either a backup for this phone.  I have to downgrade the phone to the previous version of iOS?  This seems strange to me.  Or maybe that I have to get the phone on instead of 9.2 9.2.1?  Any suggestion would be appreciated.  Thank you.

    As far as I know, iOS 9.2.1 is a beta, so maybe it's the cause.

    BTW, discuss software in beta on a public forum is not a good idea.

  • will choose the manually back option in iTunes backup everything that is on my iPhone to my computer? Including the app data

    Not a problem just a question. I intend to sell my apple iPhone, it's not compatible with my new wireless network. I can't afford to buy an iPhone outright at the moment, but I plan in the future. I want to backup everything on my iPhone to my Mac so that I can restore the data to a new iPhone later. The current iPhone 5 is already set to save important things to iCloud, if I choose the option with a manual backup encryption will be that record everything, including all the data from the app? Sorry if this is a stupid question, I want to just make sure I have everything before you send the iPhone.

    Hello CallRinny,

    I understand that you have a question about your iTunes backups and that you should use. Back on which covers.

    In general, an iTunes backup will cover pretty much everything on your iPhone. The best thing to watch over it, it's what doesn't iTunes back upwards and which covers the encrypted backup. Take a look at the information below to clarify this. I would also do that applications will be recorded in your iTunes library, so when you restore your backup, apps will sync back to the wire in one sitting instead to download on the App Store.

    backup iTunes

    On your Mac or PC, you can make a backup of your device in iTunes. Synchronize your device with your computer is not the same as performing a backup.

    An iTunes backup includes almost all settings and data from your device. An iTunes backup does not include:

    • Content of the iTunes and App Store or directly downloaded from iBooks PDF files (you can save this content using transfer purchases in iTunes.)
    • Synchronized content from iTunes, as imported MP3s or CDs, videos, books and photos
    • Photos already stored in the cloud, like My Photo Stream and iCloud photo library
    • Tap Settings ID
    • Settings and information Apple pay
    • Data activity, health, and keychain (to save this content, you will need to use iTunes backup encrypted ).

    Learn How to perform backups in iTunes, how to find them on your Mac or PC, and how to delete backups you no longer need.

    Let me know if this clears it for you.

    Take care

  • How to extract deleted the file from itunes backup iPhone photos

    I bought an iPhone 16G 6 s two months ago and the storage is in short lately. So I deleted a large number of items than the iPhone, especially for photos and videos. But now, I realized there were 3 important photos deleted by mistake. Luckliy, I backed up the device with iTunes. I know that iTunes is the official way to restore an iPhone. In my case, I only need to restore these 3 photos, there is no need to restore the whole itunes backup. How can I retrieve pictures only from the backup file?

    You can't isolate only the photos in the backup file

    You will need to do a restore - fix these pictures and re delete others
